OSXFAQ Mac OS X UNIX Tip-of-the-Day
MySQL - Add a Database and a User
Monday's and Tuesday's tips showed how to install MySQL and create the administrative MySQL databases. Today, we look at creating your own database and granting permissions to a new user.
Let's create a database called jan. You need not be the Unix root user, but must be the mysql root user.
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
mysql> create database jan;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Then create a user, also but not necessarily called jan, and give that user permissions on the jan database. Type:
mysql> grant all on jan.* to jan@localhost identified by 'jans-password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| jan |
| mysql |
| test |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.01 sec)
To view all users (user information is held in the mysql database) type:
mysql> use mysql;
Database changed
mysql> Select * from user\G
...
mysql> quit
Bye
$
Thursday's tip will show how to ensure Apple's Apache-PHP module works with the new database.
